Get the 5-minute newsletter keeping 2M+ innovators in the loop: https://thehustle.co/ Have $2B to blow? Buy a submersible yacht. Austrian company Migaloo is developing the Migaloo M5: a 541-foot-long submersible that can hold 20 passengers and 40 crew members, dive to a depth of 820 feet, and stay submerged for four weeks, per Air Mail. The superyacht, which would cost ~$2B to build, comes tricked out with all the bells and whistles, including: Two six-person minisubmarines, a helipad, and a room for jet skis. A 36-seat dining room with glass walls for ocean viewing. Optional additions like a swimming pool, wine cellar, or cinema, which, of course, cost extra. Where there are superyachts this big, there are problems. Migaloo’s submersibles will have a host of obstacles to overcome. Legal restrictions could limit large submarines from traversing waters in certain countries and potentially disrupting the environment. And there are, of course, safety concerns, particularly following the Titan sub’s implosion last year.
